For α<0.4, the plug-in estimator is preferable for a symmetric density f with exponentially decaying tails, while the transformed data estimator is preferable when f is right-skewed or heavy-tailed. Applications to real and simulated data illustrate our theoretical findings....
Cities have grown rapidly—while they provide opportunities for many, they must also confront pervasive and rising inequality, unsustainable consumption, and growing vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. Recent research emphasizes the need to improve urban resilience and sustainability in the fac...
The procedure is illustrated in the right part of Fig. 3. Note that all re-located data outside of 2a, was masked out to maximize the sensitivity in detecting changes in surface roughness. Finally, it should be noted that the mean plane of an acquired surface topography is relative to ...

Objects within a scene were slightly shifted to the left (match objects) or right (test objects) from the camera’s axis of sight to compensate for the deviation of the actual image location from the center of the screen in the renderings (320 pixels or approximately 8.4°). We used the...

The questions this paper addresses are (a) how can we estimate transformation values for ordinal data that account for the underlying right‐skewed distribution of plant cover; (b) do different plant groups require different transformations; and (c) how do our transformations compare to other ...
